Good News


I read a number of sad posts tonight, about hackers compromising this site and, worse, about the deaths of bloggers' friends, and the seriously ill health of other bloggers' dear friends.

My wife and I had our own family problems this week and she spent the week out of town with her , steering her through the breakup of her marriage, and giving moral and logistic support. They've been married over ten years and it saddens both of us to see them separate. They have a wonderful nine year old , and we love them both.

My good news is that PD came home tonight and I have my wife back with me. It was only six days away but it felt like weeks to me. In past marriages both my wife and I were relieved when our former spouses left home for a while, on business or for family affairs. It felt like freedom. My marriage with PD is not like that. We're in love each other and every time we've been separated due to illness in the family or other emergencies we can't wait to get back to each other. We haven't had many such lonely times and I hope to have no more- even though that's perhaps unrealistic.

PD has joked about us being codependent...to hell with that! Love is not codependence, nor is devotion. I do rely on her, and I need her. I love her deeply and without reservation and I'm overjoyed to have her back home again. I took her out for dinner and then we celebrated in the best way that a couple can. I missed her touch and the feel of her skin, and her scent. I missed her voice and her humor and her tenderness to me. I'm the luckiest man on the planet.

Those kids have had a rocky time of it- they're both a bit dramatic at times, but they always managed to iron things out.

As for my wife and I- kinda makes you wonder why we're on this site. The answer is, I'm a dirty old man.

Thank you, nightsoul! Maybe because we had so many bad times, we know enough to appreciate each other.

This has been a rocky week, hasn't it? But there has been another theme in many of the posts you cite -- that of pulling together, whether via offline friends in a support group, the online community expressing dismay about the site being hacked, or even partners being reunited.

Your love for PD is common, joyful knowledge. And what's equally known is that it is not one way. Sharing it with us is as "open kimono" as anything anyone might post...

Someone with entirely too much time on his hands once wrote:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

However... regarding your contention about being the luckiest man on the planet: I must point out that today I had a really good vanilla ice cream topped with a homemade strawberry balsamic reduction. Perhaps you meant to say that you were the second-luckiest man on the planet? Unless, in addition to everything else you mentioned, you had ice cream too.

I hate when MB leave for business. He is trying to get his work travel down by training a few other's to do it.
I'm glad P is back. I hope the troubles pass with wisdom and speed.

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

I had the cream, as in she's the cream in my coffee. Ruth Etting did a nice cover of that song.
It was a long week for us personally. PD is drained by all the drama. Things went from bad to worse quickly, and it ain't over yet. And Murphy's Law was running amok here at home. Nearly everything that could break down did break down. Each of us realized quickly that our biggest problem was not being together. We feel that we complement each other.

    I've been in that place with someone I loved. It was so long ago I can barely remember it. I easily remember the "vacations" I had when my Ex left town for weeks at a time!
Yeah- it stinks when you breathe a sigh of relief that your significant other will be absent for a spell, when you feel that sense of relief that they're gone. I do remember driving home to PD in South Bend at ninety miles an hour- I couldn't wait to be with her.

There's lots of the speed and little of the wisdom. The situation went to hell in a hurry, but it appears it has further to sink still. But it began to be counter productive for PD to remain- Her daughter has to learn to deal with this without going to pieces. She seems to enjoy the recreational hysteria.

    Quoting Megan6627:
    My husband and I cannot leave each other, but we are also independent in many ways. During the last 40 years we have been apart while he was traveling for work, or I was , or traveling with our children, or visiting relatives, there have been hospitalizations, both of each of us, or of a child needing out of town and extended stays. i don't know how to describe it, but i feel like he is related to me as much as my parents, or more, because i cannot imagine life without him, the 18 years of my life before we met were just a prelude to our life together.
I think I know what you mean. I feel closer to my wife than to any of my family, as much as I love them. There's also a real freedom in being attached to someone I can trust completely, and who likewise trusts me.

I have wondered if writing about my wife this way on this site might seem like boasting. If it does, I'm guilty. But really what I've been trying to say is that it can happen to anyone if you're open to it. There aren't any guarantees- just because it happened for us doesn't mean it'll happen for everyone. But you have to try because it's SO worth it.

    Best wishes man. Awesome how you and your wife share something special. It is strange because the past two days have been awesome for me personally, but people I know have been hurting pretty bad too. So I don't know what to think.
I almost didn't post because of the all the sad news around me, and we're feeling sorry about our daughter's problems. But it made me appreciate what we have even more. My wife came home around six in the evening and my heart was full of her- I had to tell about it.

    I suppose there is all kind of love. In the past three years, we've spent about a year and a half apart, as I have traveled out of the country without him. I remember when it was so painful to be separated. I can't say I know when or why that changed. I am here for the duration, however long it may be.

    I am really happy for you and PD both. I am sorry to hear of the troubles in the family. I hope things get resolved as smoothly as possible. I feel pretty bad for the young'un that's going to be tough. Divorce is bad enough, but it is really hard on the kids.
It IS hard on him, and he's scared.

    That is awesome man! Great post and it is still nice to hear a guy talk like that. Much respect!!! Glad she made it home safe and sound and of course... sorry to hear the news about her daughter but hopefully everything comes around to being better with time.
She had a tough week, but she stayed on task and and helped pilot her daughter through the rough spots. I'm proud of her and really happy to have her home.
